Reviews and recommendations

Comment:
Not Fundable; inadequate proposal. This brief proposal is to line approximately one mile of the Ahtanum Main Canal saving ~5 cfs of water to be retained in Ahtanum Creek and to install flow monitoring equipment. Adequate justification was not given to demonstrate that gaging would provide direct on-the-ground benefit to fish. In other words, the proposal is not convincing that monitoring of the flow will ensure that the saved water will remain in the stream or that instream flow will otherwise be improved. The canal-lining portion of the proposal seems to satisfy the eligibility criteria for funding under this solicitation. However, virtually no detail is given on the proposed canal lining and the associated water savings. What does 5 cfs mean in relation to total stream flow? Does the 5 cfs estimate account for the portion of the leaked water that goes back to the river through the aquifer? What assurances are there that the water saved will remain instream (downstream appropriators)? The proposal does not describe protection through instream water rights.The project has good cost share and long term O&M funding from the Wapato Irrigation Project. Resumes were not included.
